.Application lled April 18, 1907. Serial No. 368,820.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD G. BUDD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oar-Seats, yof,

whichthe following is a specification. Y

This invention relates to seats for use in railway cars and has reference particularly to the type of seatin in which two seats, are built together, bac to back,- as commonly employed in slee ing cars.

The object of t e invention4 is to eflect certain improvements in the construction of car-seats of this ty e,-.to the end that a structure is rovide which possesses great strength, which is of attractive ap earance, and which is constructed largely oi) metallic arts. p The referred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is atransverse section through the two seats, immediately inside the aisleend thereof; Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Fig. .1; Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2, one of the seats; Fig. 4' is a detail view in perspective, showing a end of one of the seats' ig. 5 is an enlarged section of a portion of the structure shown in Fig.. 2,;l Fig. 6 is a section on line 6 6 of Fig. 1; Fig. 7 is a sec'tion on line 7 7 of Fig. l; Fig. 8 is a sectional view, showing in elesupporting one of the detachable sideads; Fig.y 9 is a section on the line 9 9 of tig. 1, broken away in art; Fig. 10 is a perspective view ofone o the side-pads; and Fig. 11 is a pers ective view of one of the holders for the si e pads.

Referring to these drawings, the seat-end at the aisle-end. ofthe seatstructure consists of two sheet-metal plates spaced a art by a short distance but secured toget er, this seat-end being.connected to the wall of the car by suitable braces, including a partition lying between the two seats.

The outer plate of the seat-end is indicated by the numeral 1 and the inner plate bythe numeral 2. The outer plate 1 is cut to form two legs at the bottom thereof, an'enlarge'd portion' above these legs extending outwardly 1n opposite directions to covervv the `ends of the seat-cushions, and an upwardly extend` `-of the plate 1.

showing the wall-end of` portion of the wall-l ing central portion to cover the ends of the back-cushions. The inner plate 2 is similarly shaped at the lower ortion thereof, but does not extend upwar( ly opposite the ends of the back-cushions instead, the inner plate 2 is cut away along the line 3, 3 (Fig. 1) to provide spaces in which the detachable side-pads hereinafter described are mounted. The two plates 1 and 2 are bsecured together parallel to each other but'spaced apart by a short distance by spacers 4, 4 (Figs. 1 2 and 6). These s acers are of U-shaped' crosssection and t e ilange at one side thereof is secured by rivets 5 to the inner plate 2. The liange at the other side of the spacer is secured to thel plate 1, but rivets are not employed for this purpose, as rivet heads showingon the outer side of the seat-end would detract from the appearance of the seating; this flan e ofthe s acer 4 is therefore provided wit enlarge pads 6 at both ends thereof and these pads are soldered over the entire outer face thereof to the inner side The two lates `1 and 2 are thus securedy firmly togetlier at the proper distance onefrom the other, by the four spacers 4.

At the bottom of the two plates 1 and 2, the material is cut away to form the two legs l7 and 8. The lower edge of the seat-end between theselegs is closed by a sheet-metal strip 9 (Figs. 1 and 9) secured at one edge to the late 1. and at the other edge to the plate 2. n order to avoid rivet heads showing on theoutside of the seat-end, the plate 1 between the legs 7 and`8, is provided with an inwardly-turned flange 10 (Fig. 9) and one edge of the st rip 9 is riveted to this ange. At its other edge, the strip 9 has a flan e 11 turned at a right-angle to the body' o the strip, so as to lie alon plate 2, and this iiange 1s riveted to the plate 2, as shown at 12 Fig. 2.

The lateral edges of the seat-end are closed byl edge-pieces 13 and 14, these being'either castings or sheet-metal parts of substantially semicircular cross-section, as shown in Fig. 6.

gside )the edge of the- The pieces 13 and 14 are'curved to conform to the curvature lates 1 and 2, and are of such size that their ateral` edges fit between the edges of the plates land 2, as shown in Fig. 6. When the plates and the edge-piece 14 are assembled in the proper relative positions, they are riveted of thelateral edges of th'etogether as shown at15(Fig. `-6). Both of the lines of rivets 15, however, are concealed, in order not to detract from the appearance of the seat-end, and also to revent the clothing from catchin Forl this purpose, molding strips 16 are provided, curved longitudinally to correspond to the curvature of the lines of rivets and bent laterally to provide central portions -overlying the rivets and edge portions bearing against the plates of the seat-end. T'he edge portions of each of the molding strips 16 are soldered to the platel of the seat-end, so that the molding strips overlie and conceal the rivets. The edges of the plates 1 and 2 are rounded off as shown in Fig. 6 so that the inner and outer surfaces of the seatend round neatly into the surface of the edgestrips 13 and 14. At its lower end, the metal of each of the strips 13 and 14 is rounded over to close the end of the strip (Figs. 1 and 9), thus making the leg of the seat of attractive appearance. A suitably-shaped foot may be provided fitting within the end of each of the le s and this may be secured to the floor if desired.

Riveted to the plate 2 of the seat-end at the center thereof, is a bracket 17 (Figs. 1 and 2), and a similar bracket 17 issecured to the wall of the car in horizontal alinement with the bracket 17. Extending between and secured upon these brackets are two angular bars 18 for positioning a partition 19 vertically disposed between the two seats and extending upwardly in the plane of the length of the seats to the top thereof. This partition is preferably formed of tongue-andgroove boards and is sheathed on either side with sheet-metal 20, this construction serving to prevent, to a very large extent, vibration and the reverberation of sound.

Secured to the late 2 of the seat-end and to the partition 19 y suitable bolts or rivets, are two castings 21, each having a horizontally disposed portion for supportin one end of a seat-cushion and a pivoted brac ret 22 on 'which and a similar bracket at the wall end of the seat the lower member of the frame of the back-cushion rests, to support the back cushion in position.

In seating of this type, it is desirable to provide upholstered side-pads at the side of the seat, one supported upon the seat-end and the otherupon the wall of the car. The sidead at the aisle-end of the seat is arranged to be detaehably mounted in the space provided by cutting away the inner plate 2 of the seatend alon the line 3, 3. Each of the two sidepads .at ie aisle-end of the seat is supported y two holders 23, shown in Figs. 1, 5 and 8, and by a support coacting wlth the lower edge of the side-pad. Each of the holders 23, shown in perspective in Fig. 11, is a easting having outwardly extending ears 24 at the top thereof, riveted to the overlying strucupon t ese rivets.v

ture, as shown in Fig's. 1 and 8, and cars 25 which are soldered to the inner side of the plate 1 in order to avoid the use ofrivets which would show from the exterior of the seat-end. The holder also has a vertical wall 26 (Fig. 5) at the inner side thereof, prolvided with a slot extending downwardly from its upper edge. The plate 1 is yprovided with an inwardly extending flange 27 along the edge of the upper ortion thereof, extending from the ends of t e frame-pieces 13 and 14 t'o the top of the plate. A stri of U-sha ed sheet-metal 28, curved in the irection o' its length, is secured by means of rivets along this edge, overlying the flange 27 and extending downwardly a short distance along the body of the late 1. (Figs. 2, 5 and 8.) The ears 24 of t 1e holders 23 are secured by rivets to this U-shaped strip 28, and the strip is cut away directly over the slots in the walls 26 of the holders, in order not to obstruct the passage of a headed stud into the slots. The upper edge of the inner plate 2 of the seaten along the horizontal portions of the line 3, is provided with flanges 29 (Figs. 2 and 5) lturned inwardly of the seat-end, and secured to each of these flanges is a sheet-metal strip 30, having at its inner edge a longitudinal groove 31.

Each of the side-pads which are secured to the seat-end consists of a sheet-metal plate 32 corresponding in shape to the portion of the plate 1 extending above the plate 2. At its lower edge, the plate 32 has an integral inwardly-extending flange 33 (Figs. 2 and 5), with a downwardly turned edge 34 adapted to be received in the groove 31 in the sheetmetal strip 30. Secured to the plate 32 by means of rivets in positionsto coact with the holders 23, are castings 35 carrying on their inner faces headed studs 36 adapted to enter within the slots in the holders 23 and to eoact with the walls thereof to secure the side-pad in position.

A U-sha ed sheet-metal strip 37, curved to correspon edge of the seat-end, is secured by means of rivets 38 (Fig. 5) to the edge of the plate 32 of the side-pad. Riveted to the other edge of the strip 37, is a sheet-metal strip 39 of angular cross-section., The U-shaped strip 37 is of such size that the vertical web of the angular strip 39 is in substantial alinenient with the plate 1, and the strip 39 is of such size that the horizontal web thereof lies close to the upper face of the'U-shaped strip 28. Inorder to stiffen the side-pad 32, a plurality of metallic stiffening ieces 40 of angular cross-section are provided, riveted to the plate 32 on the inner side thereof. Near the u per edge of the side-pad, the metal of the p ate 32 1s pressed out to form a raised portion 41 (Figs. 1, 2, 7 and 10), the height of the raised portion 41 being substantially the to the curvature of the upper same as the thickness of the upholstery material to be applied to the surface of the sidepad. This raised portion 41 has a key-hole slot 42 cut therein, to receive a stud at one end of the head-roll ofthe seat, such as that shown in my application, Serial Number 382,133, .filed on or about July 5, 1907. By raising the metal to form the portion 41, the head-roll is more securely supported, the necessity of providin an o ening through the upholstery is avoi ed an the edge `of the covering of the side-pad about the opening for the stud can be readily finished to form a neat structure and one which will wear Well. The keyhole slot in the raised portion 41 on the side-pad and a similar keyhole slot in the structure at the wall end of the seat constitute devices for pivotally supporting a headroll constructed as shown in my application above mentioned, this head-roll being provided with studs .at its` ends, the sides of which are flattened. These studs normally lie in the circular portions of the keyhole slots and the head-roll may be turned on these studs as pivots. When the head-roll has been swung to an elevated position, the studs will drop into the slots, extending outwardly from lthe circular portions of the keyhole slots, so as to hold the head-roll in this position.

' The flange at the upper edge of the sidepad, consisting of the curved edge of the plate 32 and the flange at the lateral edge of the U-shaped strip 37, is perforated by a line of holes as shown in Fig. 10 to facilitate securing the upholstery and 'covering material 32 of the side-pad to the metallic frame thereof, and the stri 37 is similarly perforated by a line of holes down the center thereof as shown in Fig. 5, for the same purpose. When the upholstery material has been applied to and secured upon the outer face of the side-pad, the latter is mounted in position by passing the studs 36 into the slots in the vertical `walls 26 of the holders 23, and as these studs reach the bottom of the slots, the downwardly extending rib`34 at the edge of the flange 33 enters the` groove 31 in the strip 30 secured to the inner plate- 2 of the seat-end. The side-pad isthus held securely in position. The surface of the cushion supported upon the horizontal. 0rtion of the casting 21 extends up sliglitly above the lower edge ofthe side-pad, and similarly the surface of the back-cushion extends out beyondthe rear edge of the sidepad. The'strips 37 and 39 are preferably extended at their lower ends slightly beyond the forward vertical edge of the side-pad and plate 32 may have an outwardly extending portion thereon directly under these strips, as shown at 38 (Fig. 10). A projection is thus provided on each side-pad which directly overlies theupper end of one of the edge-pieces 13 and 14. The strips 37 have u lpholstery material secured thereon fas s own to finish the upper edge of the combined seat-end and ad and form arm-rests.

Atthe Wall-end o the seat, a sheet-metal plate 43, flanged at its edges, is secured to the wall, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, angular metallic strips 44 being provided around the edges of plate 43 except at the bottom thereof, one web of each of these strips bein secured to the flange upon the plate 43 an the other web secured to the wall. Riveted to the plate 43 near the to thereof, is a metallic plate 44 having t e central portion thereof raised to correspond to the raised portion 41 on the detachable side-pad at the aisle-end of the seat, and this raised. portion .has a keyhole slotl therein, similar to the slot 42 and for the same purpose. A sheet-metal piece 45 curved lon itudinally is secured by means of rivets to t e plate 43, as shown in Figs. 2, 3 andv 4, and a similar sheet-metal piece 46 is secured to the forward, vertically disposed edge of the plate 43, its upper end abutting and alining with the forward end of the arm-rest 45. A short sheet-metal strip 47 overlaps the joint between the pieces 45 and 46 and is secured thereto -to hold them in proper relative position. The piece 46 tapers from its upper edge downward, and the piece 45 from its forward edge backward, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The plate 43 is perforated with a line of holes 48, to facilitate securing the upholstery and covering material 43v to the plate.

Extending between the seat-end and the Wall directly overlying the upper edge of the partition 19, is a rail 49 having a groove in the upper edge thereof: The inner end of this rail is secured to the wall of the car by means of a lbracket 50. The outer end of the bar is carried by a plate 51, which lis secured to the plate 1 of t e seat-end by means of screws extending from the inside of the plate 1 through the plate and into the plate 51. Plate 51 has a` vertically disposed slot cut therein, in which is ada ted to reciprocate a headed stud 52 secure at its inner end to a latch 53, the upper end of which is adapted to coact witha part on a removable partition such as is now commonly used in sleeping cars, which may be mounted in position withits lower edge resting in the groove in the rail 49, this removable partition extending upward from the rail to the roof of the car.
